Lloyds and HTS Partner to Launch Travel Booking Portal Designed for Modern Travelers

Lloyds and HTS, the B2B division of the global travel platform Hopper, have announced the launch of Lloyds Travel Booking powered by Hopper, a travel booking portal for Lloyds’ cardholders. The portal is now accessible via the Lloyds mobile app. 

Travel makes up the greatest share of consumer discretionary spending, with people consistently valuing benefits and rewards related to  travel  more than other account or cardholder benefits (Consumer travel expenditure report, HTS). Through the Lloyds portal, customers can book flights and accommodations, all in one place and get access to HTS’ world-class offerings – including Price Drop Protection, Price Prediction, and Best Price Guarantee. 

Tamara van den Ban, Managing Director, Customer Propositions at Lloyds Bank, commented: “We knew we wanted to do something for our customers to make it easier for them to sort out booking time away and Lloyds Travel Booking is the solution.   

“We’re thrilled to be working with Hopper, who have helped us become the first UK bank to offer our customers unparalleled convenience, value and peace of mind when planning their travels, all of which can be managed in the palm of their hand, through our mobile app.” 

HTS partners with the world's leading banks, airlines and travel providers aiming to bring transparency, flexibility and savings to travelers globally. The company empowers financial institutions to offer compelling travel benefits for cardholders with cutting-edge travel and loyalty platforms. HTS now accounts for three-fourths of the Hopper business and reaches millions of travelers around the world. 

Dakota Smith, President and Co-Founder of Hopper said, “End-to-end loyalty portals from HTS help partners broaden their product offerings. We are thrilled to partner with Lloyds to bring an enhanced travel booking experience to consumers in the UK.”
